Annoying

"Oh yeah? I think your assumption is wrong and your thinking is actually logically flawed. Xezedha is only disrespecting you not that she disrespects my baby, you already feel like an important person here when your position here is nothing but a surrogate mother for my baby. Therefore, from now on you have to fix your head, because compared to all the people here, your position is actually the lowest and meaningless," James said coldly and insultingly.

I was stunned and did not expect that James would say such a thing to me. I shouldn't have had high hopes for James' reaction and why did I suddenly feel confident that he would actually care about me like he cared about other important people. I should have realised that James needed me here just to be a temporary vessel for his seed.

There's a sense of hurt and disappointment that I feel, which I find quite strange because I basically have no love for that guy, but why would I suddenly become hurt like this just because he said that I'm not an important part of the people here? Isn't that true? And I should have realised that from the start and not acted so much here.

"Now you understand what I mean, right? Instead of you making a mistake and making a bigger problem, now hurry up and get out of this room and find Xezedha, then you must apologise to Xezedha. I don't want to hear of any other problems arising after this just because of what you did, so behave yourself while you're here. Do you understand?"

There was no gentle look at all from the man's eyes, James was really cold and didn't put any feelings like tenderness or wanting to give affection, it turned out that I was just carried away by seeing James caring about my foetus. So I had forgotten that I was nothing here.

"Why are you still silent and still here? Is what I just said not clear enough for your ears? Do I have to yell at you and scream in your face every time I speak to you for you to understand?" James said, snapping me out of my reverie.

There was a wind blowing as he yelled at me, a huge sense of intimidation emanating from him as he scolded me. It was likely that James' message was using supernatural energy from within him as he spoke that the atmosphere around us became much more different than before. And I admit that this time I felt afraid of what James could do. In the future I will be more careful and not just rely on my emotions and pride when dealing with the people here.

With slow steps I walked out of the room without speaking a word to James. Hello I was scared but my nature as a woman did not want to be blamed or scolded, with the remaining courage I still showed my annoyance and the offence I felt by ignoring his words at all. I just kept quiet and left the room.

As I crossed the hallway alone, there was Afrow who was also passing by there and he saw me walking alone while determining my face. Seeing that, Afrow rushed over to me and it seemed that he was worried because he saw me with a gloomy face.

"Mrs Aluna. Is there something bothering you? Or is there something you need that's keeping you from walking alone in the castle when you should be sleeping in your room?" said Afrow greeting me.

Even Afrow, who was a nobody, was very attentive to me and treated me very gently. I felt more comfortable with this man than I did with James who only came to scold me and do rude things to me.

"It's nothing, I just want to walk alone in the centre of the castle. I think this place is very cosy and addictive for me to enjoy the view," I lied. I still remembered James' words that my mind could not be read by werewolves.

Seeing the man's expression made me wonder if my acting was so bad that he seemed sceptical of my story. From the look in his eyes, it was clear that he was still worried and didn't believe the explanation I gave him.

"For your own safety and comfort I hope you are not lying. It is my duty to accompany you and provide you with any assistance you may need. And apart from the orders given by King Alpha, I am actually also worried about your condition because you are the only human here, there could be unexpected attacks from outside or kidnappings that will occur and you won't be able to protect yourself because you don't have any magical powers like a werewolf," Afrow said.

I didn't see that he was just making faces in front of me or just giving me the formalities of a guard, he really seemed worried and concerned about me. It made me stunned, because all this time everyone around me had always approached me just to take advantage of me or extort something from me. So far, no one has cared about me in any way.

"Ah it turns out that the acting I gave was quite bad. Well I'll be honest, I was actually told to apologise to Xezedha by James. You know what he told me to do," I explained with a grin.

Afrow was silent. "It is late and surely Mrs Xezedha is already in her room and cannot be disturbed now. But there is no harm in trying, I will accompany you there because even though this place is a safe place but I still have to protect you wherever you are," Afrow said.

"There is no need to bother going to my room to look for me. If you need anything from me just tell me now," Xezedha said who was suddenly near us while folding her arms in front of her chest.

The woman's stance was so haughty, I'm sure what made the games so angry with me was also because this woman deliberately exaggerated the explanation to James and made me look very wrong in James' eyes. Xezedha is sneaky, I don't like her at all.

"What's wrong? Why are you silent? Weren't you told to apologise? Young lady," Xezedha said bending her body and bringing her face closer to mine.
